Google plugin for eclipse3.4 launches GWT hosted mode with deprecated GWTShell

[Ron]

I am using GWT in an existing web application that has a web folder
called 'WebRoot', so the configuration looks like this:
[project]/WebRoot/WEB-INF/web.xml

When running in hosted mode the deprecated GWTShell is used apparently
because it expects the web folder to be called 'war'.

This is a shared project and it would be really inconvenient to change
the name from 'WebRoot' to 'war'. Is there any other way to get hosted
mode to stop using the deprecated GWTShell?

Hey Ron,

Please see this bug and star it (we use stars to gauge the importance of certain non-critical bugs): http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=3877

Also, you should be able to create the war as a linked folder in the upcoming GPE 1.1:  http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=3692

Finally, you may be able to try using a symlink right now, if your platform supports these.

Hope this helps,
